Question
Is an 11 year old eviction still on my record?
I am about to apply to get an apartment. I had an eviction 11 years ago in OR. The apartment where the eviction occoured has been torn down, so I wouldn't even know how to get a hold of the owner. I have tried to access tenant searches to see if I am listed, but they all charge $$$. I ordered a copy of my free annual credit report and didn't see it on report. There was a dept listed for civil judgement (in 1996, many years later) that I wasn't even notified of for $2,226, but doesn't tell me any more. Does a landlord just pull a credit report? If an eviction is on record will it show on credit report? Does an eviction record show on a criminal background check or other records? Thanks SO MUCH for any help.

I'd worry first about checking into the judgment and see what that is about.

Yes. As long as people own computers, it will be possible to go back in time and find out anything public about you. In general, most items drop off your credit report after 7 years. That is all that most landlords care about. If you have paid your bills during that time, you will probably continue to pay them. clearscreening.com is used by landlords for tenant checks criminalsearches.com is used for crime checks ( I don't work for either of them and both are free to use online)
